I've tried many 3rd party airports and the exclude option has never worked for me (nothing is generated). I have read the entire manual and watch Umberto's and several other videos on the process so I am aware of how it works. Note that I've only used GSX L2 on the latest version (2.6.1.0) since I recently purchased it, so I can't confirm that it was working for me on previous versions.
When I open up the airport editor, I check the exclude box for the gate that I am parked at and hit apply. The apply button stays active and does not go "dim" confirming that the option was accepted. When I exit P3D, there is no exclude bgl visible to compile in the GSX Control Panel. Furthermore, there is no exclude .xml file generated in the FsDreamTeam Exclude folder.
As a test, I opened up the control panel with P3D running in window mode side by side to see if anything is generated while I hit the apply button. Again, I activate the exclude option and hit apply. I then tried to edit some vehicle positions exactly like was done in Umberto's video. The control panel does not list anything to exclude. Only the airport ini file is generated in the roaming folder.
Some airports I have tried:
Flightbeam KIAD, Flytampa LGAV, KTPA, OMDB
I was beginning to think that maybe it didn't work with these airports, but I have found several examples where these airports were successfully edited by other users. For example, in cartayna's thread I found that he edited LGAV and I confirmed in his download that he includes a gsx exclusion file.
This is on a fresh install of both P3D and GSX (fully updated). I have the entire Addon Manager folder excluded from my anti-virus. I even added the coutl.exe process to be ignored by my AV when it is running. I even tried completely disabling the AV as a test.
To be clear every other aspect of GSX works properly - aircraft editor, airport objects editor and the normal GSX operations when parked at the gate. The only thing that is not working at all is the exclusion feature.
I have tried everything countless times and strongly believe that there is something not right with the latest version. It is as if the apply button does not do anything for the exclude option.
Can anyone confirm if the exclude option is working properly on the latest 2.6.1.0 version?
Umberto, please advise what I can do/troubleshoot to get this working.
